Just asked a conductor his thoughts on ending Northstar and he’s against it. Says it will cost more to decommission* it than it would to run it for the next 15 years.
*demolish stations, remove signals and switches etc

This is the suburban train station platform I stood on as a teen desperately seeking the culture Toronto offered in form of music, shops, clothing and other weird people and things that back then weren’t as accessible as they are now.
Transit delivered the freedom and culture a teen craved.

Q: Do you plan to attend Sarah's funeral?
TRUMP: I haven't thought about it yet, but it's certainly something I can conceive of. I love West Virginia. You know, I won West Virginia by one of the biggest margins of any president anywhere.

💯. It's not these patriotic citizens' fault they're being used as performative props by a corrupt, mendacious, and deranged president. They deserve our kindness and respect, and now, devastatingly, our deepest concern and sympathy. 😢

Unbelievably, Montreal's REM still has a top speed slower than that of marta, a system that began construction 50 years ago.
This is a reflection of how Atlanta was so ahead of its time back then, and how the anti-urbanist political machine and racism has strangled the system in the 50 years since

#Montreal 's just leap-frogged other cities in North America by opening the REM.
Automated. Electric. Frequent (2.5 minute headways). Fast (Capable of 110 km/h). Cheap to build. (One tenth the price of other systems)
And really fun to ride...

No one shld lose sight of the fact that the Guard was only in DC as part of an extended political messaging stunt. The shooter is guilty for the attacks/carnage. Donald Trump is responsible for them. This is the collateral damage of Trump abusing his powers as President.

I think we can safely say that the Leavitt's brother called ICE on his ex, the mother of his child, and I have to say: I have no desire to respect, find common ground or share the country with these monsters.

Russian asset Ron Johnson says there’s no money to give Americans $2K inflation checks. But there is money for a despot’s $250M ballroom and enough to give $40B to Argentina’s dictator.
I’ll always remember Ron paying Putin a visit in Moscow on July 4th weekend in 2018.
